The Morrill Fire in Nebraska is estimated to have burned 330,000 acres. Fanned by wind gusts between 70-90mph yesterday. I don’t know the cause. I’m not going to speculate.
This fire is the source of the smoke across most of northern and northeast Colorado this morning.
According to followers I have on the ground, there are a handful of homes and farmsteads that have been lost. Don’t have an exact count.
This morning with calm winds, an aerial offensive attack by fire crews is being conducted in hopes of at least gaining some containment and establishing wet lines before winds increase again this afternoon.
The wind will be out of the west and northwest for most of us today gusting at times between 35-55mph.
The wind on Saturday ahead of the cold front won’t be any better. In fact, it’ll probably be stronger.

We learned more about Nebraska tonight than anyone else.
The Huskers went to Ann Arbor without two of their top six players and outplayed Michigan for the majority of the game.
There are no moral victories, but Fred Hoiberg's team proved it's good enough to win the Big Ten.
Big thanks to @CynthiaHuhman for the custom Anselmo-Merna shirt with the iconic coyote football logo! My wife and BIL were excited to get their shirts too!
Easily a top 5 logo in #nebpreps history.
Illegal immigration needs to stop, but I’m super in favor of greatly expanding and simplifying legal immigration.
Anyone who proves themself to be hard-working, talented and honest should be allowed to become an American. Period.
An On-Farm study in Dawson County is evaluating the impact of Pivot Bio's Proven40 across a range of Nitrogen rates. Results from this study and others will be shared at UNL's On-Farm Research Results update meetings!🌱

I've been across a lot of acres fertilizing and I will say every spot we had the seed treated with #proven40#pivotbio the early plant health is noticeable.
Hopefully the combine notices too.
